Surveillance video obtained by CNN and shared Friday shows rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs launch a brutal physical assault on his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in 2016.

The footage, dated March 5, 2016, shows Combs, clad in a towel around the waist, chase after Ventura in the hallway of a hotel. The video shows him grab her by the back of the neck and throw her to the floor, before kicking her twice while she is lying on the ground outside a bank of elevators. He is then seen dragging her by her hooded sweatshirt.

Combs walks off as Ventura gathers some items from the floor, but he returns a short time later, shoving her before sitting down in a nearby chair. He then grabs an unidentifiable object from a side table and throws it in her direction before walking away.

According to CNN, the video, caught from multiple angles by surveillance cameras, was captured at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.

Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, issued a statement shortly after the video was shared by CNN, confirming that the woman in the video is his client.

“The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behaviour of Mr. Combs,” Wigdor said, referencing allegations in a now-settled lawsuit his client brought against the rapper.
